Note: If you choose Full speed in the Execution Period combo box, the
execution speed will be as fast as possible. There might be network com-
munication traffic problem when the output is on another module, since
the execution speed is too fast that too many network packets are trans-
ferred on the Ethernet.
Note: When you want to use ADAM.NET Utility to configure one ADAM-
6000 module which is already running its GCL rules, remember to stop
the GCL logic rules first.
Send to Next Rule (SendToNextRule)
You can combine different logic rules into one single rule, which can help
building more complex logic architecture. There are two methods to com-
bine different logic rules: one way is using Send to Next Rule function
here, another way is using Internal Flag.
When you use Send to Next Rule function, you can set output of one
logic rule being input of the next logic rule. Please note it can only com-
bine two logic rules which are next to each other on the same module. If
you want to combine different logic rules which are not next to each
other, or even on different modules, you need to use internal flag for logic
rule cascade. We will introduce this feature in more detail in section 7.4.
After you select SendToNextRule in the Type combo box, one of the
output icons will become the next rule. Refer to Figure 7.8 below.
